Even though Christianity has made it all about the man, Jesus made it all about the MESSAGE, and walking it out as an example. Be it Hitler and the Third Reich, or JRS and TLW, making it about a man has always caused many (including an entire nation) to cast reason aside and participate in ways not otherwise imagined. Most who participated in TLW need not look too hard to find paradigms we formerly entertained, being blinded by an allegiance to something we thought was true, that today we would never consider.
Jesus never drew the focus to himself, but always directed his efforts to pointing out all that stood in the way of walking out LOVE on an individual basis, something that threatened the status quo of an exhausted religious structure that was anything but. Any errors of our earlier ways can be attributed to a sleight-of-hand that replaced the TRUE MESSAGE with a man, along with all the attendant consequences.
The MESSAGE has always been:
ABOUT
Its
all about
LOVE
and
only about
LOVE
